Just thought I'd share that I plugged into an Alto Pro TX208 this weekend (used as a floor wedge) and they sound pretty damn good even compared to the venerated DXR10....
Who'd have thought it!
Go well all ye in Kemperdom...
(very) Small FRFR that works well

Are you still using it @DaleOz?
-
yep... it's going well...
Do yuo also have DXR10 side by side? Can you record some comparison video?
-
IMHO creating comparison videos related to the sound of speakers makes no sense at all, because there are so many other components in the signal chain that significantly influence the sound. Even if you'll use 100.000$ high end audio recoding equipment it will still be useless, it's just impossible to achieve *exactly* the same sound.
There are thousands of such useless videos on YouTube of people saying "Hey, listen to the awesome sound of my new amp"... recorded with the microphone a smartphone
So you can not judge or compare the sound of two FRFR speakers on a video, you have to be physically in the same room with them.
-
If you begin with a reference amp ? JCM800 ou TAF deluxe.
we can feel the difference with 2 FRFR, recorded with a smartphone.... no ? -
Of course you'll hear a difference between different speakers, but any difference does not allow any conclusions about the quality of the sound, especially and in this case for FRFR loudspeakers.
-
It's not a useless effort , If you happen to know one of them very well [ that's what a reference is ] then you can at least get a general idea of how it differs
, maybe enough to decide whether it's worth pursuing further or not! no one is asking to sign a contract but trying to help.
How many pro audio studio monitors are there ? because there is no one best but allot that are good enough. -
Definitely the offer to create a comparison video is very kind of him.
I know and heard a lot of studio monitors and FRFR speakers, but I would not be able to recognize any specific model or judge the quality on a recording, even if I knew all the components used.
As most people in this forum know, it can be sufficient to move the microphone a few centimetres to cause a strong change in sound. I would not be able to tell if in a comparison video the seemingly better sounding FRFR speaker is really the better one. Maybe for one speaker the microphone was just in a unfavourable and for the other one in a perfect position.Related to speakers IMHO the only way to make a meaningful judgment, is to have them physically next to each other. Ideally if you compare them in a room with acoustics you know well and songs/mixes/sounds you also know well.

Humm...seems to be a great solution for home !
I already have a Spark, which is fabulous!
I use it combinated with my monitor Focal solo6 BE and the result is a great 3D sound in the room!Your stuff is excellent Marco !

Wow, looks great! It's a shame you don't have prices on your site, though.

Ahh yes! My German started and ended with ich bin dreizehn...

Det var så lidt.

Anybody has tried the new Laney 112? A bit heavy, but cheaper!
-
Det var så lidt.
Now that I understand!

Its a pity that Blueamps had to discontinue the Home model (according to the webpage) because the drivers used in the design are not manufactured anymore. The Junior is a good alternative, but may be overkill/oversized for the purposed described in this thread.

A small FRFR-Solution?
I can recommend the Marshall Hanwell!
Take a look at my Userpic - that‘s my real Marshall-Tower ...Bought both 2nd Hand. They are not continued but the Marshall Woburn is close.
I use one HANWELL at home and one to play with my Soul-/Funk-/Jazzband as my monitor (9 Musicians: voc,dr,b,key,tp,tb,tsx,ssx + me). With band it‘s on max level, right before speaker damage ...
It works for me.
